Local firefighters raising money for Muscular Dystrophy

Local firefighters with the Peace River Fire Department will be raising money for Muscular Dystrophy research.

From 6 p.m. Friday to 6 p.m. Saturday, firefighters will be hosting their first ever rooftop campout at Peace River's Tim Horton's in support of Muscular Dystrophy research.

“Firefighters will be on the roof for 24 hours and some will be on the ground collecting money and handing out information and goodies (balloons, stickers, brochures, etc.),” according to the Town of Peace River.

“ Firefighters across Canada team up to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy Canada and we would like to do our part to contribute and raise awareness. Muscular dystrophy is something that affects people in our community so we hope people understand the need for supporting this event to help better the lives of those affected.”
